   Yes but the issue was often that in many homes where the water is only   
   heated by an immersion heater, switching to hot might not actually give hot   
   water, so then the machine would still need to heat the water itself, and   
   also of course the control equipment to create the exact temp needed would   
   not work if scolding hot water came in first.   
    I suspect these variables are why they went over to cold fill, they then   
   have full control.
